Google employees last year considered displaying pro-immigration information when people searched terms related to the Trump administration's controversial travel ban. Google has promoted or downplayed certain perspectives in its search results in the past. For example, in December 2016, it surfaced Holocaust denial websites much lower in the results when users searched whether the event happened. Google has fought back, claiming it does not change its search results for political purposes. "Our processes and policies would not have allowed for any manipulation of search results to promote political ideologies," the spokesperson said.
